I hope you all have a spooky Halloween weekend & ate lots of roasted pumpkin seeds. I always forget how much I love munching on these salty treats.We'll be putting our weekly cupcake on hold for the next two months & instead be doing a weekly cookie. Since we'll be having family for the holidays we want to get some favorite cookies in the freezer ahead of time. This week we'll be making Mandelbrot which are a tradition in my family.

That stew is a variation of the Tunisian breakfast soup, leblebi, which thrives on a wide range of garnishes you might want to consider. I've got a list from when I made something quite similar here. You should at least add poached eggs; the dish is incomplete without them.
